About the author

Huw Aaron

1 Published Books

Huw Aaron is a Welsh cartoonist, author and illustrator, and the creator of the bestselling Sleep Tight, Disgusting Blob and Unfairies, both of which were shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2026 - a historic achievement. After a short and fairly hopeless career in finance, Huw found a niche as a magazine cartoonist, producing joke cartoons for, among others, Private Eye, Prospec t and The Spectator. Huw then started making comics and illustrating children's books in his native Welsh. Since 2013, he has written or illustrated over 60 Welsh-language books, and has won numerous awards including the 2023 Tir na n-Og and Welsh Children's Book of the Year prizes. He was also founding editor of the comic Mellten, and presented the weekly art programme Cer i Greu on S4C. His newest stories are Monkeypig and Unfairies: Death by Toad. Huw's harshest critics - and his best friends - are his wife Luned and their two daughters.
